A colOred man who gives his name as A.
= CAN'T was arrested yesterday morning
on suspicion Of being the fellow who killed
a miner named DicklnJon, ut COShoCtOn,
on Monday. The prisoner, accompanied
by woman whom he calls his wife, came
to this city on the c. & =. accommodation
and the couple was at the b. q o. depot
awaiting the West bound train when ar
rested. The description of Sanders, who
murdered Dickinson, agrees with that OF
Grant exactly, except that the man in Jail
has no side whiskerS, fact easily ac-
counted for, as he had had plenty OF time
to make way with the side-burns. Grant
had set of miners tools with him, which
more than anything else led to his arrest,
as the officers are aware that the murderer
is a coal digger.
Your reporter callsd on CAN'T at the
lookup and interviewed him. Said he: 81

were married at st. GAINESVILLE" "Where
were You going to this morning." 1--WE
were going to Captina" What is your
husbands name?' Il don't know, but |
call him JOhn?"
The lady did not appear to know as
much about CAN'T rs wife should She
also said that they were going to Captina,
while the prisoner said he was going to
GAINESVILLE to work.
The prisoner takes things very cool and
says he is acquainted with several gentle
men Of his race in Bellaire. Two of his
acquaintance were seen; one knew the
darkey's name as CAN'T, but the other said
he could not recall it. However, the case
will be investigated at once and if the fell

after the following:

into our city unheralded, unrecognized
unnoticed, but by the colnred porter WHIT

Now, Mr.. POorman, you should give tn,
able speaker his dues. He told his audi
